   Let me start by saying I have tried the very loved NYX liquid lipsticks, the Milani, and a few more. I like these SO much more than those. These dry to an almost powdery finish which makes them much less obnoxious than the NYX. When I put the NYX on, it stays tacky all day and starts flaking after about ten minutes. These are much thinner so the flaking is really minimal. I am so glad they’re adding these to their permanent collection!

   I FINALLY got the Fall limited edition liquid lipsticks! It was really weird though cus when I swatched them they were extremely watery as if water separated from the product, so the swatches were bleeding all around my hand… But I tried shaking & rolling them beforehand so now they’re okay.

   I bought:
   1) Take it Like a Vamp
   2) Don’t Be a Plum Plum
   3) How Fleek is Your Love

   I’m actually not sure if I’m gonna keep any of these even though I’ve only tried each once just to see what they would look like on me. The formula kinda irks me. They’re watery which causes them to apply unevenly – or maybe I just apply too much. I’m comparing them to favorite NYX liquid suede lipsticks which are pigmented & don’t cause unevenly application, but I’ll still probably keep them for winter and cus I don’t have any of these colors yet.

   EDIT Dec 7, 2016: Formula seems great though! I actually swatched them on my hand, let it dry then washed my hands w/ soap & very warm water. There was NO bleeding, smudging, OR smearing of any kind unlike my HG ColourPop Liquid Lipsticks… Only a little bit of fading. I’m in love! I think I might have to replace all my ColourPop ones with these! 😉 I still returned them though cus dark lipstick doesn’t go well on me.

   I loooove this stuff! I’m a huge nyx and Milani fan and these are 100% worth it! They’re comfortable to wear and I always get compliments when I wear these!

   Don’t Be a Plum Plum…the must have dark berry/purple of the season. These are the mattes that go on very liquidy but dry quickly and stay on pretty strong. This color is so dark I would suggest using a lip liner because one little boo boo could be disastrous. But these are worth it and the price point is amazing! I feel so fortunate to have snagged this!

   I recently signed up for the Wet n’ Wild newsletter. This is a fantastic thing, because it is how I heard about these fabulous new lipsticks.

   I was going to order these directly from Wet n’ Wild, and pad out a full $35 basket in order to get free shipping. However, because I knew what I was looking for, I was able to snag them at a suburban Walgreen’s. I went out to look for them on the day that they launched, and wound up scoring the only full set left at the store that I went too. Limited Time Only Result!

   These are great. First, they don’t have any kind of a smell at all. Not like the gross root beer smell of a Jefree Star. And, unlike a Jeffree Star, the go on in an opaque layer and dry down after a minute, no flaking. The big drawback is that there are only 4 colors, a hot pink, a red, a brown, and a plum. However, they are all gorgeous versions of these colors.

   I wore one of these on a date where I enjoyed pepperoni pizza. The top lip was still intact, but the bottom lip broke down with the oil from the food. I suspect that these would stick around for a very long time if you avoid food or drink, but so far, I have only been able to enjoy them for two hours at a time. What can I say, it’s been really hot, and mama needs her froyo… And this amazing affordable lipstick. I already repurchased…

   Wow, so caught these matte liquid lipsticks being put out on a limited edition Fall 2016 standie (fingers crossed these become a permanent item for WnW and sister brand Black Radiance). I didn’t have such a great impression of the metallic versions that came out at the top of spring/summer 2016 but knowing that these were just going to be plain solid matte colors I had hope and Wet n Wild came through! ????????????????????????

   I hold matte liquid lipsticks up against Jordana and sister brand Milani’s versions because they dry down instantly and don’t transfer and these follow in the same way. They don’t dry down as fast but they dry down and you do get a barely there gummy feel if you press your lips together often before these dry. Just give it a minute. So far I’ve worn these for 5+ hours and it’s been comfortable and non-drying. Naturally with the introduction of an oily food these are going to warp but through drinks and kisses you’ll get a little rub off which isn’t unusual. They’re a champ. And they’re opaque too. AND $2.99!

   34827-Don’t Be a Plum-Plum – dark red that isn’t that plum-y but leans that way. Looks like a cool, dark tomatoe red in the tube and dries down to a dried blood noir color.

   34828-Take It Like a Vamp – dark red merlot purple
